Finishing touches on the initial workspace setup are nearing completion. All benches and shelves are free-standing by design so the floorplan arrangement can be altered to accomodate the widest variety of projects. Dimensions were planned to accommodate the plastic storage bins that were salvaged from a Trader Joe's -they originally carried tulips. I was also fortunate to find several large, hand-painted, carnival-game signs that were created for the Opryland midway. The grimy boards cleaned up nicely and give a fun, local, state-fair theme to the workshop (one sign for a cork-gun game is visible hanging on the upper right. I also salvaged "ring-toss", "un-ball", "can-n-ball" and basket-bushell" -all to be placed soon).

Clockwise from upper left: Wheeled template, ply-strip, and lumber cart; Wheeled boat bench (easily wheeled outside for dirty sanding work -brought back inside for epoxy and detail work); Wheeled epoxy and adhesives cart, general storage shelving; Churro-the-sit&stay-puppy; Open floorspace for cutting and joining long panels.

The next projects include lighting improvements and ventilation control. After that, boatwork can resume in earnest.
